Continued from Page 38 leaves return, there isn’t much need for additional nitrogen. In research done over a three-year period in California’s Sacramento Valley—the northernmost part of California’s prime central growing region—there was no yield benefit from fall nitrogen applications. There are many things to do postharvest in preparation for next year’s crop. Taking tissue samples and knowing whether or not your orchard truly needs additional nitrogen can save both time and money, which are also two very valuable resources. Surveys Pest Taking nut samples can be a helpful tool in identifying and measuring infestations. Some growers take samples and freeze them, killing the potential pests inside, and crack them out in winter. This can be done at night with a good light, and with a pest control advisor (PCA) or certified crop consultant (CCA) on hand to plan for next year based on the information gathered. It’s also important to take a survey of what is left in the trees, taking note of mummy levels. Weeds Documented annual weed surveys not only keep a running log of weeds that are found in any particular orchard and when, but also help prepare a grower for what to expect for the following season. It’s also a great way to reevaluate the previous year’s protocol to measure its effectiveness. How did 2019’s weed control program look? Postharvest Don’ts Just as there are important actions to take post almond harvest, there are some things that should not be done during this same time. Prepare your Nut Trees for Next Season with the Westbridge Post-Harvest Program ORGANIC Contains Auxiliary Soil & Plant Substances ® ® ORGANIC Plant Nutrients The Westbridge Post-Harvest Program is designed to increase root growth and improve nutrient uptake of fall fertilizers, preparing trees for next year’s growing season. Apply a soil or foliar application within 30 days after harvest to: • Improve winter hardiness • Increase root growth and perennial wood • Improve fruit bud vigor, which can lead to reduced alternate bearing. Program Includes: • Organic TRIGGRR ® *When plants are in need of more nitrogen, Organic BioLink® Cal-N can be substituted for Organic BioLInk® Cal-Plus 7% • Organic BioLink ® Cal-Plus 7%* • Organic BioLink ® 3-3-3 Fertilizer • Organic BioLink ® Micronutrients (800) 876-2767 www.westbridge.com ® Pruning Trees in their first and second leaf are experiencing bursts of growth, but pruning them at the wrong time can be detrimental to their health. Pruning ahead of a rain is a poor choice because of the time it takes for those wounds to heal and the increase in disease or infection susceptibility. While healing periods are still being researched, current research suggests that the healing process takes a minimum of two weeks, but can last up to four weeks, leaving a significant window of vulnerability for these young trees. If, for some reason, pruning must occur at this time, you can spray fungicide on the wounds to help protect cuts from forming infection. If rain appears in the forecast, spray between the cutting and the rain. But, if it can be helped at all, don’t prune in front of a rain. Knowing and documenting the characteristics of any particular orchard is an incredible benefit when it comes to caring for the trees after harvest. Working closely with a PCA or CCA who also knows your orchard well can help ensure that your methods and implementation are ideal for your orchard in order to have the most favorable outcomes.
